Most people feel they only need a lawyer when buying or selling a home or when a family member dies, and for some people this may well be the only time they do need the assistance of a lawyer.

Sometimes, occasions arise when it is prudent to consult a lawyer and receive sound advice, such as precisely where you may stand in relation to:

- the breakdown of a marriage or a de-facto relationship, especially where children and property are involved.

- protecting the assets each party brings in to a new relationship, especially where there are children from a prior relationship.

- Achieving the best possible outcome for those little scrapes and problems.

- Knowing where you stand in these situations and being aware of your rights and obligations can save you much emotional turmoil and expense at the end of the day.

Often prompt action can resolve a matter before it gets out of hand and you are facing significant expense.

 

A good lawyer can properly advise you in these situations.

We offer sound advice in relation to:  

- Real Estate Issues

- Family Relationship issues

- Personal and Family Matters

- Small Business

- Going to Court

These are just a few of the everyday occurrences where legal advice can save you emotional turmoil, and sometimes, with good advice, even save you money.

If you feel a little advice would be helpful, at least so you know where you stand, Dorrough Smart can assist you. 

Dorrough Smart is a small boutique law firm. The Solicitors in our Firm are a wife and husband team, Megan Dorrough and Peter Smart, who between them have over 35 years legal experience.

Being a small Firm we offer courteous and dependable service where you deal with the solicitor who is acting for you or, if that solicitor is unavailable, their personal assistant will be abreast of where your case is at.

We will also see clients by prior appointment outside normal business hours, including evenings and weekends.  If it is necessary we will visit clients who are unable to attend either office for medical reasons at no additional charge.

Our rates and charges are always disclosed and competitive, and by mentioning this website as your point of contact, we will offer you 10% discount on our professional fees* (but not disbursements where we will charge the costs to us of the provision of any service).

*where we agree in certain matters such as family law property proceedings to await payment until after the matter is completed, we cannot offer this discount.

The only clients we wish to have are satisfied clients.

The only advice we give is sound advice (which may not always be the advice you want to receive).
